What Is a Allurion Gastric Balloon?

The Allurion Balloon is an FDA approved gastric balloon (also known as an intragastric balloon or IGB) made from polyurethane, a material that is much thinner and more flexible than the silicone material in other gastric balloons. The Allurion Balloon is enclosed in a Smart Capsule that is composed of a vegetarian, non-animal derived, degradable material that encloses the balloon.

The balloon occupies space within the stomach, promoting a feeling of fullness and reducing food intake. After approximately 16 weeks, the Allurion Balloon empties through a patented Release Valve and is naturally eliminated.

How Is The Allurion Balloon Procedure Performed?

The Allurion Balloon is placed in the stomach during an outpatient consultation.3 The patient swallows a capsule containing the deflated balloon, which is attached to a thin tube (catheter).  

Once the presence of the capsule in the patient’s stomach is confirmed (by X-ray), the balloon is filled with liquid using the catheter.

A second X-ray is performed to ensure that the balloon is properly filled. The procedure is then complete, and the catheter is gently removed. The balloon is designed to self-empty after approximately 4 months and pass naturally.

Who Is A Candidate For The Allurion Gastric Balloon?

The Allurion gastric balloon may be a good option for adults who are overweight or obese and have struggled unsuccessfully to lose weight with diet and exercise alone. 

Good candidates for the Allurion balloon:

  • Have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 to 40, or sometimes higher, depending on the circumstances.
  • Who would like temporary help controlling hunger and portion sizes but do not desire to have surgery.
  • Are willing to follow a supervised weight loss program that includes healthier eating habits, regular physical activity, and medical guidance.
  • Are ready to make long-term lifestyle changes that will help them maintain their weight loss after the balloon is removed.

Individuals who have previously had stomach surgery, such as gastric bypass or sleeve surgery, usually are not candidates for the Orbera balloon. A doctor will review your medical history and current health to determine if the Orbera balloon makes sense for you.

Dr. Batash and his team are completely incredible. He has taken excellent care of my health and is always a pleasure to talk to. A doctor who cares for a patient as a person while providing excellent medical care is rare. I got the Suture RESCULPT done 2 weeks ago and the amount of support I’ve received is just unbelievable. Dr Batash knows that it takes a village in order to fight the weight loss battle. I highly recommend this amazing team! I’m forever grateful 🙏🏽

So happy with my ESG experience yesterday. The day of the procedure, Anesthesia kept me sleepy all day and my stomach had minor cramping. Dr. Batash prescribed all the meds and gave me detailed instructions of what I needed for pre and post procedure. He was super nice is person and got the job done. The staff were really nice too. Can’t wait for results.

I tried everything! You name it, I tried it. Fad diets and even hypnotherapy and nothing worked and then I tried Orbera. If I had felt like this earlier, I can’t imagine what my life would have been like.

I didn’t have a lot of confidence in myself, now after Orbera and losing 70 pounds I am blossoming.
